The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 452 1 Everything is too logical

When Yang Manman heard the word "death row", all her strength seemed to be drained away in an instant, and she was finally dragged away by the yamen runners. Yang Huihui was also supported by Wang and slowly left the Ministry of Justice and returned to the He family to deal with He Yuanwei's funeral. He Yuanwei had no brothers or sisters. Although his father was also an important official in the court, he died last year, leaving only his mother. After hearing about her son's murder, He's mother fainted on the spot due to excessive grief. Not only was she unable to come to the court, she was also estimated to be unable to arrange the subsequent funeral. Pei Zhaozhi sat in the court and watched Yang Huihui and the others leave until he heard the yamen runners report that Jiang Suining wanted to see him, and then he came to his senses and left. Jiang Suining and Xier were waiting in the corridor in the front yard of the Ministry of Justice. When they saw Pei Zhaozhi coming, Jiang Suining bowed and saluted. "Hello, Lord Shangshu." Pei Zhaozhi waved his hand to send away the yamen runners waiting next to him, and spoke after they left. "Miss Jiang, you don't have to be polite." Jiang Suining smiled, stood up straight, and also signaled Xi'er to stand a little further away. "I came here today..." "It's about Yang Manman." Pei Zhaozhi took over Jiang Suining's words. He had heard the report from the yamen runners that Yang Manman was arrested in Zhanxing Tower. Jiang Suining nodded, "Is she really the murderer?" "At present, it seems that there is no objection to this case with all the evidence and witnesses." Pei Zhaozhi frowned slightly, "It's just..." "Just what?" "It's just that I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter." Although he is an official who is trying the case, he should focus on evidence and not talk about intuition, and this case is clear and all the confessions match, but the more this is the case, the more he feels that there is something indescribable. Everything... seems too logical. "What happened specifically, can you tell me, Lord Pei?" Jiang Suining said. Pei Zhaozhi thought about it and told the whole story from the He family's report to the trial just now. After listening to the whole process, Jiang Suining thought carefully. "There are indeed witnesses and evidences, but according to the maid named Yan'er, Yang Manman should have escaped in the first half of the night. Was she scared and fainted for so long?" "I also found this strange at the time, so I asked about it. When Yan'er fainted, there happened to be a stone on the ground, and she hit the back of her head on the stone, causing coma. The yamen runners have already gone to the He family to check. There is indeed a stone where the cooks said Yan'er fainted. They also checked the back of her head and found a swelling caused by the impact." Pei Zhaozhi explained. "If that's the case, it makes sense." Jiang Suining frowned slightly, "What about the autopsy results of He Yuanwei?" "Preliminary examination showed that the brain was hit hard by a flat blunt object. The impact surface was wide and there was no bleeding on the surface, but the skull was shattered, resulting in death. This autopsy result is consistent with the wood that Yang Manman used to commit the crime and the direction in which she hit." "What about the number of hits?" "It should be one time, killing him with one blow." "Yang Manman is just a woman after all, can she have such great strength?" "I also asked the coroner about this. At that time, Yang Manman was holding firewood and hitting from top to bottom. In addition, she hit with all her strength out of fear. Even a woman could have such a result." Pei Zhaozhi replied. Jiang Suining nodded again, "So is this case considered closed now?" "I have said that the verdict will be announced in court in three days. During these three days, I will order people to check and inquire about the details carefully. If there are no problems, Yang Manman will definitely not escape the death penalty." Although He Yuanwei was demoted not long ago, he was still an official of the court. Yang Manman killed him, whether it was accidental or intentional, according to the law, she must pay with her life. "I know, thank you, Lord Pei, but if there is any other news about this case later, I hope..." "Miss Jiang, don't worry, I will let someone inform you in time." After all, Yang Manman is a female official, and it is normal for Jiang Suining to be concerned about this matter. Pei Zhaozhi finished speaking, looked around again, and spoke in a low voice. "Miss Jiang, the matter about your father is still under investigation, but there has not been much progress for the time being." There is still a lack of conclusive evidence that the embezzlement of disaster relief silver is related to the royal family. Only the current knowledge is not enough to completely uncover the old things of the past. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Pei." Jiang Suining thanked him without showing any disappointment. She had expected this. After all, if there was any progress, Shen Yanxi would not fail to tell her. "One more thing." Jiang Suining looked at Pei Zhaozhi, "If possible, I want to meet Yang Manman." In the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Yang Manman curled up in the corner. The death row was located in the deepest part of the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The light was dim. Most of the people who were locked up here were serious criminals. They had to be tortured before confessing. The air was filled with the stench of rotting wounds. With every breath, Yang Manman felt as if her stomach was about to vomit. However, what made her feel even more uncomfortable was the fear in her heart. When Jiang Suining arrived, Yang Manman heard footsteps and raised her head instantly like a frightened bird. After seeing that the person coming was Jiang Suining, she was surprised, but relieved in her heart. "You came to see me laugh!" Yang Manman said instinctively, disgust on her face. Jiang Suining looked at Yang Manman slowly, "According to the current situation, it seems more appropriate to send you off than to see me laugh." Yang Manman's heart trembled again, and panic and fear could not be suppressed on her face. "I didn't mean to! I didn't want to kill him!" "But you did it, didn't you?" Jiang Suining looked straight at Yang Manman. "Yes, I did it, but I just wanted to save myself. If I didn't, he would have killed me! I thought I was just knocked out by him, how could I have thought that I would have killed him with just one blow! This can't be blamed on me, can't be blamed on me!" Yang Manman spoke hysterically, fear, anger, unwillingness, resentment, grievance...all kinds of emotions intertwined. Jiang Suining stood quietly outside the cell until Yang Manman gradually calmed down, and then continued. "Are you sure you only hit He Yuanwei once?" "Are you interrogating me!" Yang Manman said dissatisfiedly. Jiang Suining did not answer, but just looked at her quietly, his eyes revealing coldness and impatience. Yang Manman felt inexplicably uneasy at this look, bit her lip and said. "I am sure I only hit him once. I was hiding behind the door at the time. The moment I opened the door, I hit him head-on. After seeing him fall, I threw the firewood and ran away." "Where is the maid named Yan'er?" "She fainted by herself." "Since Yan'er was also there, as a servant, why didn't she open the door, but He Yuanwei did it himself?" "Why?" Yang Manman snorted coldly, with a look of contempt, "Because the two of them were having an affair. Yang Huihui, that idiot, didn't even know that she had a maid who was only interested in getting into bed with her!" Jiang Suining raised an eyebrow, "Yan'er and He Yuanwei have an affair?"
